Michelin X Radial

Description:Michelin® X® Radial DT tires help deliver an exceptional balance of all-season traction, quality handling, and an extraordinarily long tread life by incorporating many of our latest technological featured. They make a great choice for passenger car and minivan drivers alike. Special sipes are full depth, providing biting edges for better wet and cold traction throughout the life of the tire. They provide up to eight percent better snow traction compared to the competition*, giving you more confidence whether it’s snowing or raining.

Summary:Just got my second set of Michelin X's. The first set lasted 84,000 miles. Still had some tread life but wanted a new pair before the first serious snow storm. Had them rotated/balanced on schedule and the good tread life was the result.

from Costco

Year / Model Reviewed:2003 Ford Windstar

Strengths:Great ride, great traction in snow and rain, very quiet, long lasting, so far just over 45K miles on them and they are very good.

Weaknesses:So far I don't have any weaknesses. They have performed better than expected by far. Much better than the Michelin Symmetry tires on my last Windstar.

Weaknesses:Doesn't come even close to advertised 80k treadwear lifetime

Summary:Had these tires for 5 years and only got 50k miles out of them before they needed replacement. And beware, if regular rotations are done yourself, the treadwear warranty (of little value anyway) will not provide any credit upon replacement.

Summary:Pulled the worn OEM tires off the Pilot at 23,000 miles. Put on X Radial LT. Hondas suffer from road noise and the LT helped a little. The ride and traction are excellent. Wear is astounding. The SUV has 65,000 miles on the tires now with good tread left (perhaps another 10,000) Price is up quite a bit but I will by another set. No question.
